The inaugural Women of Influence list published in this month’s Insider magazine and available to view online, includes four ladies from three of Marketing Stockport’s member organisations.
The list, which is separate to Insider‘s annual Women 100 List, recognises the depth and diversity of the North West’s female business community and includes Justine Clowes and Kaye Whitby from SAS Daniels; Brigit Egan of Oakridge Consultancy and Lorraine Lockie, managing partner at Gorvins.
The list is made up of representatives across a range of sectors including entrepreneurs, PR and marketing experts, professional services, hospitality, manufacturing, media, recruitment and charity.
The 113 names are listed alphabetically so are not in any ranking order.
Views from across the business sector were considered with the final decision made by North West Business Insider editor Chris Maguire.
Chris said:
“We had more than 350 names put forward for our annual Women 100 list, which highlights the 100 most important North West businesswoman and will appear in August’s edition of the North West Business Insider magazine.
“When we looked down the names of people who didn’t make the Women 100 list, we realised there were literally hundreds of women who were extremely influential in the region’s business community and we decided we had to recognise their contribution. That’s where the idea for the Women of Influence list came from.”
